to be an announcement by the writers that we really don't have enough story to fill an entire episode so instead of sparkling dialogue we've decided to play this crappy music.... But there again, if the music was beautiful then I wouldn't mind... but it just seems like filler by lazy writers to me.
Otherwise known as the music video montage. ;-) I've grown used to it (I watch daytime soaps, remember. They invented the music montage. Then people like Whedon, Ron Moore, etc stole it from them.) I only mind when they try to overlay dialogue and voice-over with the music montage - which makes it impossible for me to figure out what they are saying. (Which Grey's Anatomy likes to do, and Revenge for that matter). I tried close-captioning...but it doesn't work, the close-captioning people get confused. They can't decide which to do, the lyrics, the voice-over, or the dialogue. It's actually amusing.
Actually Ringer's aren't that bad - I mean what did you expect them to be doing while he was cleaning the walls of blood? Buffy did the same thing, granted it was usually better music...but teen shows tend to have better music, not sure why.
You didn't know Jason Dohring was cast in it? Hee. Yes, as Juliet's teacher of all things. Sigh. I admit I'm torn. On the one hand we have whiny teen daughter subplot from after-school special cliche hell, and on the other Jason Dohring. Wish he had a larger and more interesting role. Seeing Logan and Buffy in a clinche? Fan worlds collide.
